He might have withstood the full of the first scream but after the machine was activated, a great deal of Black Bolt's power was drained.I don't have a problem using that scene as an indication of speed or something but relative strength or something? He punched Hulk and all it accomplished was knocking him off his feet. It even looked like Hulk was smiling after the hit. I mean, I'm not denying it had to have packed a punch and clearly intended to show he was very strong but everyone already knew that.
Hulk never soloed a builder. It should be noted Thor used the return enchantment from behind to own the builder. Which is a fairly different tactic from something he used on Thanos.
I think he's talking about this scene:

Tbf to Hyperion, he was already out of it. Thor seemed to be resisting. Obviously Thanos was very powerful and stronger then Thor (At least I hope he was because it feels like we're one story away from Beta Ray Bill palming Mjolnir or something) but things like this needs to be acknowledged or we go from one extreme to another.
And to be fair to the Avengers, one of the plot points was that they had come back from a long and difficult galactic war. It was even visualized in their ragged appearance. Just something to note.
3 screams is still 3 screams. maybe the last 2 were somewhat lessened, still impressive as all hell. what attack, individual or collectively, compares with even one of bb's screams?
you're right about the builder. forgot it was an aleph he one-shotted. 👆 in any event, hulk was treated like a child imo, disdainfully. he got back up but it was clear he was considered little more than a pest imo. smiling? yeah, we'll disagree there. proxima ended him very quickly. if she could, pretty sure thanos could have done the same.
not sure where in the scan i showed that you can possibly say thor was resisting.....anything. he was even without his hammer.... he was literally cast aside like a leaf.
nor am i sure what needs to be acknowledged honestly. thanos utterly tanked 2 full on lightning blasts (who else has EVER done that?), took a charged smash to the head, then proceeded to palm thor's hammer and was about to kill him and the rest of the avengers. long battles? meh, that can be said too often to really matter. thanos himself had just taken bb's screams so....yeah. imo it was clear that thanos was intended to be WELL beyond all of the avengers, tired or not. i asked this before, but for people who think the worthy win (some who think the worthy can SOLO, or that it might only take 2 or 3) where has a herald or group of heralds been shown to be even remotely threatening to thanos? that doesn't mean he can take 1000 heralds. but 7-8? i think it is certainly a debatable point at the least.
tbh, i'd say thor himself was more powerful than ANY of the worthy, aside from juggs and MAYBE nul. if thanos can treat thor like that, i've little doubt he could kill most of the worthy before the accumulation of damage via attrition takes him down. i'd go as far as to say thor could kill any 2 of them aside from hulk or juggs at the same time. attuma had a decent showing but that had the air of defender jobbing.... thanos would kill a couple at LEAST as quick as thor could. each time one fell, the odds of them winning would drop. kurrth would be last, nul would prolong things, but i don't see either one being able to put him down. i know you'll disagree, but as i said, looking at his history, i just think it's clear he's well above this tier. you don't have to be a skyfather to beat a group of heralds.
